Raptors' Fields to be sidelined after surgery

TORONTO (AP)

Raptors forward Landry Fields will be sidelined for several
weeks after having surgery on his right wrist.

The Raptors said it was a ''minor surgical procedure'' to an
issue with the ulnar nerve in his hand. Fields underwent ulnar
nerve transposition surgery in November of 2012 to alleviate nerve
compression in his right elbow.

The 25-year-old is expected to return to light practicing in
three weeks. Fields has appeared in 23 games with one start this
season, averaging 2.4 points, 2.2 rebounds and 11.9 minutes.
